CHIKO

This place is gas, I don’t know how it wasn’t busier than it was!! Big portions, quick service, super delicious. They have a gluten free menu too! Get the orange ish chicken for sure.

Chiko stands for Chinese and Korean. All the dishes are fusion of the two. We came with a group of 6 adults and 5 kids between the ages of 3 to 8. We ordered family style to share and even had left overs to take home! Items that were listed under ‘small plates’ were actually decent serving size. They also offer gluten free and vegetarian versions. -Pork fried rice -Chinese broccoli -Korean fried wings (spicy soy glazed) -2 XO garlic shrimp stir fry which is a rice porridge. -Crispy Brussels sprouts -Spicy ribeye and rice cakes -Dak Jjim -2 kids chicken bowl Everyone’s favorite were the shrimp porridge and dak jjim. I liked the vegetables dishes, broccoli and brussels sprouts. Also the spicy ribeye rice cake. Everything was packed with flavor. Too much flavor that it made me so thirsty from the sweet and spicy. The pork fried rice was super sweet with the house made hoisin sauce. Almost like honey or syrupy candy. Everyone has been here multiple times except for us so they knew what to order and said usually it’s not this sweet. Food here is good but not enough for me to repeat. Especially the parking was terrible in a small gravel lot with no lines and 5 parallel spots on the curb on a busy intersection of highway 101. Also very limited indoor and outdoor seating. I was surprised we were able to snag a few tables for our large party. You seat yourself, order and pay through the app.
